Today after work I went to the laundry mat, after I got everything into the washers I went over to the vending machine for a cold soda. Before I put the money in I checked the change slot in the snack machine, low and behold I got some change 2 quarters and 2 dimes thought I was starting to loose my touch in finding money (nope, still got it)...

Today was again another busy hot humid day, did manage to find a few pennies. It was than I realized I had no pockets to stick them in so I stuck them in my shoe, one lady asked me if I found anything I told her yes a penny and put it in my shoe, she busted out laughing...Glad I did go out early Saturday, late afternoon we had severe weather on the news found out that a couple of tornadoes touched down, one not far from us, tornadoes In New York are not common.

After the severe rain storm yesterday I wasn't sure if it be good Medal Detecting, and I was right wasn't to good and very humid. I went to the Tot Lot I was gonna try last weekend but an event was going on there, wasn't to good got 2 coins and a heart bracelet lil tag says Avon on it...After about an hour I decided to hit the other beach. It wasn't any better, the walk way down the hill to the beach was just about washed away but did manage to find a nickel and a couple of pennies on the hill. By the water near the life guards chairs I did find a Hot Wheel car buried in the sand, this car makes #11. The Hot Wheel I found is a Nissan Silvia S15. A few others I found in the past are not the greatest shape but I added them into my collection anyway.

Today I got up early 6AM (must be nuts, LOL!!!). Got everything ready and went to the beach, tried to beat the rain supposed to get more thunderstorms today. Tried the volley ball area, found a nickel. Went over by the Gazebo and some large trees, found some pennies, a couple of quarters thought one was silver but missed it by 1 year (bummer), found .69 cents at the beach. I did get one silver earring with the #925 on the back...After the beach I decided to try a TotLot I did the other day, did better than the first day a lot of the coins were on top of the woodchips. Found .88 cents there.

This has been one long and tough week, with the heat, humidity and thunderstorms I am glad it's friday. Hope tomorrow is a day I can get out with my ACE, there is a chance of more spot thunderstorms. Enough with the rain already...

This morning I went to the beach, a bit earlier. The events that were there yesterday are there today also. Not much people there at 7:00AM, so I searched the playground again (yes, the one I saw the old gentleman last Sunday searching.) Right away I found 2 quarters and a dime, my ACE's bells went like crazy. I came out pretty good, got a $1.09 at that location. Well the people started rolling in a little after 8AM so I started to roll out about 8:30AM...Went to another TotLot again have been to this one several times, found nothing in the woodchips so I searched the grass on the edge of the parking lot, got 2 pennies didn't want to leave empty handed. I plan on searching that area a bit different, there is a sledding hill not far but would like to have another person with me, can't see it from the parking lot. I will search the grass around the area of the playground...This afternoon I again searched the house next door, found out that house is about the same age as ours, early 20's. I came out not bad, .37 cents and two of them wheat pennies...

This morning I went out for some detecting, went to the first playground was there couple times before. In 15 minutes got 3 pennies, than a town pickup truck pulled up to beside my car. The man got out and told me I can't detect here, town don't allow any detecting in there parks. Said sorry didn't know then left, at least he was polite when he told me. Did manage to get 3 pennies, also was the place I lost my shovel (bummer)...I decided to try another TotLot are in a different town, when I got there was busy with an activity (soccer event of some kind). Well I decided I'd try the beach again, different side. Again when I got there 8AM was busy with people, again event going on there today (sports/music). Later, I did read about that one in the newspaper...So, last and final try for today. There was this TotLot I been having my eye one for a little while. Other than a few fishermen no one was at the play area, YES!! finally. I did pretty good there .79 cents...

Today, after MDing I went to the grocery store they have a Coinstar I check each time I go in, got me two dimes, one being silver 1962. And later found 2 pennies at Walmart on the floor, hey I'm going to pick it up (free money is good)...

Today before work I stopped at the grocery store, checked the return slots on the vending machines and the Coinstar, nothing. When I went back to the car I spotted a penny on the floor in front of the Coinstar machine. When it came time for clean-up at work while sweeping I spotted a penny.

This morning I went to the beach, instead of searching the Tot Lot (did that the day before) I started finding coins on top of the sand only a couple I had to dig, which was still wet from the storm the day before. When I was done, I put my things in the car turned to look at the people in the park and there was this older gentleman searching the playground, so I walked over to ask what type of machine he was using. He told me it was a metal detector, Huh yeah I know wanted to know the name, was a Garrett I believe a 2500 told him I had a 250 and that I was in this play area yesterday. Got back to the car turned and he was gone, guess he didn't like the idea I already searched there, LOL!!!...

Got permission to search the house next door, today was the first day I started searching. Under the big tree in the back yard about 6 inches down I found a railroad spike, took some digging to get it out. Also some coins 5 of them older. Will do the yard again when the new owners are not working on the house.

During the day was a forcast for severe T-Storms, I decided to get some MD'ing in before the weather changed. Went to one play ground come out with .41, when I got ready to leave I saw that the sky was starting to look very dark, and this was morning. Took my chances and hit another playground that I've been to a few times and there I found .45. Well, that was gonna be it for today. A few hours later we had such a severe storm it was impossible to drive in and the lightning gave such a show...

Today was very warm especially at work. After I finally got home after 5:00PM I walked into the livingroom and in the middle of the floor was a penny, first and only coin found today. I'm hoping to get out this weekend for some Metal Detecting but tomorrow has a forcast of Severe Thunderstorms, Sunday looks good.

This morning I decided to go early to the beach, there is a fairly good sized Tot Lot been there once before to detect. Today I came out fairly good, not empty handed. The quarter I spotted laying partially exposed under the wood chips.

One was at a school at the area had alot of puddles, had to jump around them to keep from getting wet that place produced .58 a charm that looks like a crown and some weight thingy. The second play ground only got me .01 at least it was drier. The 3rd place I have been to twice before got .02 and a small earring, don't look like a good piece of jewelry (no marks)...
